Research Notes
By Virginia DeMarce, Ph.D.
Past President of the National Genealogical Society

This study is limited to the Tennessee Melungeons of Hawkins/Hancock County (with what can be learned specifically about them in the counties from which their ancestors came, and the counties to which members of their families moved). It does not use the term "Melungeon" generically to describe tri-racial or possibly tri-racial settlements in the remainder of Tennessee's counties, much less all over the Upper South.
